I recommend a book called Not By Scripture Alone: http://www.catholicintl.com/products/scripture.html It deals thoroughly with 2 Tim 3 and the other passages prots use. It simply does not mean what you want it to mean. The NBSA book has the reasons.

***It simply does not mean what you want it to mean.***
I am simply amazed at the catholic responses I get to the plain meaning of the scripture.
I just got finished with a conversation where a catholic was telling me that the verse...
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
Does not mean there is ONE mediator between God and man and that I had misunderstood the verse.
And not long ago a catholic blasted me for believeing we are not to call people "Father" in a religious way based on the following verse...
"But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven."
And now you tell me that the scripture is NOT... "able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." And that it CAN NOT make us... "complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work".
Sorry, I'll take the plain meaning of scripture.
